Revenge

Ch 1 How did I end up here???

"How did I end up here?"

That's what Kagome thought for the hundredth time, as she walked down Ports Alley in the worst part of town.

Kagome looked down at her watch it was only 11:30 at night.

She could not believe she had only been walking thirty minutes, but in those heels she felt like she'd been walking for hours. She still couldn't believe she was out here, as she thought back to what brought her there.

(FLASHBACK)

"Mama you wanted to talk to me" Kagome yelled as she walked in the door. It was her last day of class before graduation, and her mother had told her she need to talk to her after school and that it was very important, so Kagome rushed right home to see what was so important.

Her mother sat her down and said "Honey, you know how grandpa has been sick."

"Yes mama, I know he has been sick"

"Well dear, grandpa has been diagnosed with cancer."

Yume looked down at the floor and listened for Kagome's reaction.

It came immediately.

Kagome thought her world had come crashing down. Tears started streaming down her face as she let out a sorrowful sob.

Yume looked at her daughter and gently placed her arms around her.

Yume continued to talk, as Kagome only half listened.

"Kagome the medical bills are very expensive and the insurance does not cover it."

Kagome pick her head off her mother's lap and looked into her eyes and said "Oh mama how are we going to pay for grandpa's treatments.

Yume stood from the couch and walked behind it and sighed. Kagome watched her mother and knew something else was wrong. Yume sighed again and turned to her daughter and then said "we can pay for the bills, but it would be at your expense sweetheart."

"What do you mean mama?"

"Well before your father died he set up a trust fund for your college education, we could us that, but we couldn't afford to send you to college."

Kagome turned her back to her mother. She didn't know what to feel at the moment. She wanted nothing more that to say "sure mama you can use my trust fund."

But she wanted to go to college and study to be a writer; it had been her dream since she was nine and read her favorite poem by Langston Hughes.

Kagome was deep in thought when she heard her mother say

"That's ok dear we will figure out another way to pay the medical bills. I could take a second mortgage out on the shrine."

When she heard her mother says that Kagome realized she was being selfish. She ran to hug her mother and said "of course you can use my trust fund. I'll just get a job to pay for school."

"But honey you would need at least two jobs to pay for school."

"Don't worry mama it will work out."

"Some how"

Right then and there a little piece of Kagome died inside.

(END OF FLASHBACK)

Now this is where she ended up. Standing on the corner of "the hooker stroll" as she liked to call it.

That's right ladies and gentlemen Kagome Higurashi is a prostitute, she thought sarcastically to herself.
